Advent – 3rd and 4th December

OK I am sorry I didn’t post yesterday but it was my day off college and there was nothing interesting to tell you about.

So yesterday behind door number 3 was:

Me attempting to do college work for a change

Sorry I didn’t get photo evidence but I promise the next time I will.

Today behind door number 4 is:

A Dog made from Blu-Tac

It is not a good photo as I only had my phone on me but he was found by Karen in the IT room and it was either confiscated by Peter or Peter was bored and made it himself.

So I thought that I should share this with you and as a little addition I think we should give him/her a name so please post comments with your choices and I will announce the name that I have chosen (I will pick it from a hat) and the deadline is the 7th of december and on the 8th the name will be announced.

oh one other thing please send me names to me on twitter: @R_U_Safe

so until tommorrow

Advent – December 2nd

Hello there so yesterday i posted a little video of me, and ti ts the 2nd time i have actually been in a video on youtube, the 1st was removed last year so i would show you that or direct you there.

so i’ll explain the plan a little bit better than i have done over the last couple of days:

i am going to post a new blog entry every day up to Christmas, this is so i can get beck into the habit of blogging more often as i have kind of neglected this blog with only posting on average less than once a month.

so here is todays treat behind door number 2 on the advent calender a poem that i have written

(it is a work in progress but please let me know what you think of it)

Christmas is a time for joy,
For forgetting about your Day-to-day life,
You will eat too much,
And exchange gifts.

You may not get what you wanted,
But the gifts that you did receive,
Were chosen with you in mind.

The inevitable gift of socks,
The carols, the films,
The odd gifts and the awkward “Thanks”,
They all go hand in hand with the day.

Christmas dinner at the table,
Turkey, Stuffing and the sprouts,
The Doctor on the TV,
Will he ever have a quiet Christmas?

Boxing day arrives,
and you regret,
Eating as much as you did,
Don’t Panic,
Only a year to go,
Till you do it all again
(Stargatefreek, 02/12/2009)

i hope that you liked that, please let me know and ill see you tomorrow.

Don’t forget about twitter.

Advent

Hello

so as tomorrow is the 1st of December i have decided that i will do a Virtual Advent Calender.

 

Advent Calender

ok so it is not much to look at as i have just put it together but if this works this year i will be better prepared for next year so fingers crossed then.

so each day i will post and each will be something new and made by me but if you would like to help me with ideas for the content of the next 25 days then that would be welcomed.

also if i do use your idea then the blog post will be dedicated to you.

so comment ideas or tweet them to me @R_U_Safe

so until tomorrow then.

Its Cold Outside

Hello there

So in a few days it is going to be December and that means only one thing: New Year

Wait I think I have miss calculated I am sure there is something else happening before that, Oh yes Doctor Who Christmas Special (FTW).

For those that have been wondering (I doubt that there are any people that read everyone of my posts and in that have become a “Fan”) I have been busy over the last couple of weeks, it has mainly been college stuff but I have been working on a big thing my UCAS application (for those that don’t know I am applying  to go to University) and I have almost completed all of it.

The other week I found out that Orange have joined the Twitter bandwagon so I now get free text updates from a small number of the people I follow (this is nice as Twitter is the only person I receive texts from these days and the volume I get makes me seem popular) and now Orange is selling the iPhone (Win) and I now am looking to get one of those on contract when I get the money.

My computer is now down 2 of its speakers as the cables have broken so the sound is still as good but I have nothing behind me so I have gone from 5.1 down to 3.1 but after the PGP (Primary Gifting Period (Christmas)) I will be looking to get a couple of new ones from Chatham.

So I have once again re-arranged my bedroom, I would show you but my camera is broken but I do have a photo of on of my walls, this wall is the one that is behind me when I take photos.

I have started to listen to songs I have not since I found Spotify. It has added more variety to my MP3 player witch with 6months of the same songs did get a little boring so I decided that I needed to update it and so I did.

Stargate Universe has been getting really good over the last couple of weeks and so has Sanctuary and I have now given up on the reviews of each episode but like I have said I have been busy. Don’t despair though as over my Christmas holiday I will be going up to the Mid-Season Finale on SGU and where ever I have gotten to on Sanctuary.

So that is all from me  and I will be back sometime in December and as always you can keep upto date with all the antics in my life through the legalised stalking site Twitter.

Please let me know if you are a “Fan” of my Blog by:

• emailing me: dsc304phoenix@googlemail.com
• Sending me an @reply on twitter
• or by leaving me a comment

So bye *Waves*

What Where you Thinking?

It hasn’t been that long has it? I didn’t think so.

Hello there it has been just over a week since I last posted and not that much has happened.

 

Fireworks

 

On Saturday (07/11/2009) it was bonfire night, as always I watched the fireworks up on the Great Lines and I did get a couple of good photos this year which I am pleased with.

Sunday (08/11/2009) saw me rearranging my bedroom, it was something to do.

 

ID Card on Lanyard

 

Today (10/11/2009) at college we were given the lanyard for our ID cards, so now we have to ware them at all times, this is a good idea but I belive that my group is the only ones to have them so far as I have not seen anyone else walking arround with them other than the staff so it is going to be a bit weird to begin with but the lanyard have only just arrived at the college.

 

"Friends Like These" by Danny Wallace

 

I have borrowed and actual book from the Library for a change, I am going to start reading it tonight and hopefully I will have read it faster than “Yes Man” as that one took around 6 months to read but during those six weeks I was at college and trying to meet the deadlines and get the work completed, even though that is still the case it wont be as hectic as last time as that was in the last 6 months of the year.

I have to be in college early tomorrow as i have to see Kim so i can get my Personal Statement completed so I can finish my UCAS application in time so that will be fun.

As always you can catchup with me on twitter where there are more regular updates as I am glued to it so untill next time.

Bye *Waves*

Last Week and Updates

so last week I was on Half term and as normal I did nothing.

When I say nothing i mean nothing important or college related.

I did however watch quite a few DVD Box sets, I borrowed Stargate Atlantis season 5 and CSI:MIAMI season 6 Pt II from the library and I bought season 2 of Battlestar Galactica.

I finished watching these Sunday (01/11/2009) night.

On Saturday (31/10/2009) was Halloween and as usual Dad did a pumpkin but he tried something a bit different this year as he only took a little bit off of the surface and did not go all the way through and used LEDs to light it. I like it and it came out well.

 

Todd The Wraith in pumpkin form

I am Enjoying Sanctuary season 2 and SGU season 1 and each seem to be getting better and better.

I am saving my money up for the Stargate SG1 season 1-10 box set at the moment as this will mean that i have every episode and it will take up less room than having each volume will.

i am behind on the reviews, i still need to post 2 for SGU and 3/4 for Sanctuary but they should be up during the week.

That appears to be everything but as always stalk me on twitter where there are more regular updates.

Stargate Universe “Darkness”

!!!Warning!!!

!!!Spoilers!!!

Rush on the Warpath

Darkness starts with rush in the control room, is is looking rather stressed out, this is obvious when he is on the way back to the control room after leaving the mess, he pins Riley up against a wall and shouts at him, just for asking a question, there are many contributing factors to this and we do find those out later in the episode but the main one at the moment is Lack of sleep.

James talking to the Kino

Over the course of this episode we get an insight to some of the crew of the destiny, this is done by them recording messages  into a Kino, I like this feature of the show as it means that the actors are braking the 4th wall and connecting directly to the audience. As SGU is a character driven show rather than an action show like SG1 and SGA it means that we get to know more about the charactors, even though we are geting the story and the character traits of the main cast the Kino Diaries gives an insight to the supporting cast as well.

Eli and Chloe

This episode brings Eli and Chloe closer I think as there Walk and talk allows for them to reassure each other that they are not useless to the crew:

Chloe: Me? I don’t even know what to do with myself, Eli. I’m the last person who should be here.

Eli: I’m second to last!

Chloe: You’re under-estimating yourself.

Eli : So are you.

After this Eli shows Chloe how to use the “Shower”.

Destiny droping out of FTL

When the destiny drops out of FTL (Faster than Light) it brings on the literal meaning of the episode “Darkness” as that is what the ship has descended into without any power and it brings out the jeopardy as there is nothing that can be done and no way to save them that can be seen on the horizon. when the ship goes dark it takes Rush to a whole new level of Crazy, he becomes more stressed.

The power issues are similar to that of the ones in the Pilot of Atlantis (101/2 – Rising) but in this case there is no fail safe to save them.

Rush passed out

Rush has a nervous breakdown and ends up passing out, with rush out of it they need ideas of how to get out of this mess, Young is asking the actual scientist (Dale Volker) and engineer (Adam Brody)and they have nothing nut the MIT dropout Eli has the idea of using the 2nd shuttle for power, then young gose to earth to report back.

Peter DeLuise as "Peter" the scientist

Peter DeLuise makes an appearance in this episode as “peter” the scientist and just misses the opportunity to be on the Destiny and his place is taken by Telford.

After young has briefed General O’Neill he goes to see his wife and this is an iteresting option as this could meen that all of teh family members are being security clearance as we know in Air Pt I that she was not told where he was going to be stationed.

Telford usis this oppotunity to gather information on the running of the ship so that he can get Young replaced.

Rush finally comes to and he is told that he has been out for 10 hours and we then find out that all of his stress is due to Caffeine and Nicotine withdrawal, poor rush he has got it bad.

Rush staring into the Kino

Destiny slingshot arroung the Gas Giant

I have nothing but good things to say about the Visual effects department as the visuals of  the Destiny making that sling shot around the Gas giant was just incredible.

The slingshot around the gas giant was another call back to SG1 (412 – Tangent) to where the X-301went out to the edge of the solar system and they tried to slingshot it around Jupiter.

Destiny heading towards the sun

We are now at the end of the episode and here is the worse parts about 2 parters, the cliffhanger, the new course is straight in to the sun, it could not have gotten any worse can it, it will be interesting as to how they use the shuttle to get out of this and howe the 3 “habitable” plaints factor in to it but I can tell you one thing, I cant wait.

Updating, updating, updating

Hello there everyone it has been a bit since I posted an update on this blog (other than a review) and I thought that I should.

First of all can I say a thank you to everyone that has visited my blog since the start of the month, I find it quite interesting as to how people have been finding me on the web. over the last couple of weeks it has been search terms relating to Stargate Universe like, “stargate universe destiny” and “stargate universe whiteboard” but amongst the best there was “stargate universe sex scene”, this is one of those things that i can’t make up i have had people here looking for “Photos of David Hewlett”, “red nose day”, “stargate ships comparison chart”, “pictures of Elyse Levesque” and there are lots of other so thank you and keep all of your different searches coming I like to see the weird ways that people arrive at my blog.

SG-U Stargate Universe

I have been enjoying the start of Stargate Universe and I am liking the new season of Sanctuary. I will be reviewing both of them on this blog, SGU is being done and I will be starting the sanctuary ones at the weekend and there will one for each part of “End of Nights”.

College has been going well over the last month, we have a boring tutor and one of our tutors has left due to stress (this is based on information i received this morning), we only have another few days left and then we are off for a week.

Lost seasons 1-3

I have now got nearly all of Stargate SG1 on DVD, I am missing episodes 220 – Show and Tell, 917 – The Scourge, 918 - Arther’s Mantle, 919 – Crusade and 920 – Camelot (ptI) and I am missing season 10, I have now got seasons 1-3 of LOST and I have worked my way through them and I only have 2/3 of season 3 left to go.

I have been updating my website over the last couple of days and the changes are live here, also I changed the header to this blog.

Sanctuary Season 1 Boxset

Last week I managed to purchase sanctuary season 1 and one of the discs didn’t working properly, actually it was the 1st disc just after the 2nd episode so that was rather annoying but I took it back and they refunded the money and are going to hold another copy of it when it comes in again so I can’t really complain.

I think that is everything for now I am still using Twitter so follow me if you like.
